Description

在个人视频记录应用中的MPEG解码器中 实现音频/视频同步的鲁棒方法A Robust Method for Audio/Video Synchronization in MPEG Decoders in Personal Video Recording Applications

本发明涉及广播流的记录和回放领域;尤其涉及用于在视频记录环境中使来自广播流的视频和音频的解码与表示相同步的设备和方法。The present invention relates to the field of recording and playback of broadcast streams; in particular, an apparatus and method for synchronizing the decoding and presentation of video and audio from broadcast streams in a video recording environment.

这个应用涉及共同未决申请的共同发明人和主题,所述共同未决申请的标题为″Robust Method For Recovering A Program Time BaseIn MPEG-2 Transport Streams And Achieving Audio/VideoSynchronization″(用于恢复MPEG-2中的程序时基和用于实现音频/视频同步的鲁棒方法),S/N 09/967,877,其在此被完全并入以供参考。This application relates to the co-inventors and subject matter of a co-pending application entitled "Robust Method For Recovering A Program Time BaseIn MPEG-2 Transport Streams And Achieving Audio/Video Synchronization" (for recovering MPEG-2 Procedural Timebase and a Robust Method for Implementing Audio/Video Synchronization), S/N 09/967,877, which is hereby fully incorporated by reference.

活动图像专家组阶段2(MPEG-2)标准是一种在各种各样的音频/视频分配系统中采用的数字音频/视频(A/V)压缩标准,该分发系统包括例如数字卫星系统(DSS)广播。MPEG-2传送标准,ISO 13818-1,需要广播装置在多路复用的音频与视频分组流内以周期时隙发射程序时钟参考(PCR)时间标记。这个程序时钟参考时间标记被称为DSS程序流中的系统时钟参考(SCR),其带有与产生广播流的MPEG-2编码器内的一个或多个系统时间时钟(STC)的严格关系,因此它可以被用来在解码设备中复制编码器的系统时间时钟。另外,每个被多路复用到MPEG-2广播流中的音频与视频分组都包括解码时间标记(DTS)和表示时间标记(PTS),其相对于程序时钟参考识别时间,分组必须在这两个标记处由解码设备分别解码和表示以用于显示。The Moving Picture Experts Group Phase 2 (MPEG-2) standard is a digital audio/video (A/V) compression standard used in a variety of audio/video distribution systems, including, for example, digital satellite systems ( DSS) broadcast. The MPEG-2 transport standard, ISO 13818-1, requires broadcasters to transmit Program Clock Reference (PCR) time stamps in periodic slots within a multiplexed stream of audio and video packets. This program clock reference time stamp is called the system clock reference (SCR) in the DSS program stream, which carries a strict relationship to one or more system time clocks (STC) within the MPEG-2 encoder producing the broadcast stream, Therefore it can be used to replicate the encoder's system time clock in the decoding device. In addition, each audio and video packet multiplexed into an MPEG-2 broadcast stream includes a decoding time stamp (DTS) and a presentation time stamp (PTS), which identify the time relative to the program clock reference at which the packet must The two markers are respectively decoded and represented by the decoding device for display.

个人视频记录(PVR)的执行过程包括在存储介质上存储广播程序然后播放它们。如果程序完全被存储为MPEG-2流并且通过以原始广播比特速率注入以便回放,则定时信息被保持以允许被延迟的程序使用与实况广播相同的音频/视频同步机构。MPEG-2流的全部存储需要过多数量的存储器,然而,如果MPEG-2流通过丢弃程序被改变或压缩或者如果程序通过丢弃子信道被改变或压缩,则减少了存储器需求但是丢失PCR到达的关键性定时。仅仅存储音频基本流(AES)和视频基本流(VES)也减少了存储器需求却又造成了PCR到达时间的损失。在回放过程中,PCR到达时间的丢失造成了严重的音频/视频同步问题,表现为音频/视频表示中的噪声、中断或暂停现象。The implementation of Personal Video Recording (PVR) involves storing broadcast programs on a storage medium and then playing them. If the program is stored entirely as an MPEG-2 stream and injected for playback at the original broadcast bit rate, timing information is maintained to allow the delayed program to use the same audio/video synchronization mechanism as the live broadcast. The full storage of the MPEG-2 stream requires an excessive amount of memory, however, if the MPEG-2 stream is altered or compressed by dropping the procedure or if the program is altered or compressed by dropping sub-channels, the memory requirement is reduced but the PCRs arrive at critical timing. Storing only the audio elementary stream (AES) and video elementary stream (VES) also reduces memory requirements at the expense of PCR arrival time. During playback, the loss of PCR arrival times causes serious audio/video synchronization problems, manifested as noise, interruptions, or pauses in the audio/video representation.

图1是根据本发明第一实施例的接收机的示意图;在图1中,接收机100包括解密器105、解多路复用器110、存储子系统115、音频解码器与表示器120、视频解码器与表示器125、时钟振荡器电路130、记录STC 135、播放STC 140和频率调整电路145。存储子系统115包括写入控制器150、存储介质155和读取控制器160。FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a receiver according to a first embodiment of the present invention; in FIG. 1 , the receiver 100 includes a descrambler 105, a demultiplexer 110, a storage subsystem 115, an audio decoder and presenter 120, Video decoder and display 125, clock oscillator circuit 130, recording STC 135, playback STC 140 and frequency adjustment circuit 145. Storage subsystem 115 includes write controller 150 , storage medium 155 and read controller 160 .

在操作中,被加密的传送流(TS)165由解密器105接收并且解密器105输出被解密的传送流170,其由解多路复用器110以广播被加密的传送流165的速率接收。PLL电路130产生固定频率信号175,其被发送到记录STC 135以及频率调整器145。由记录STC 135产生的记录时钟信号180被解多路复用器110和写入控制器150接收。解多路复用器110提取被解密的传送流的第一报头中第一PCR字段的值并且计算编码器系统时间时钟频率(时钟用于在程序流的SCR字段中建立原始值和在传送流的PCR字段中建立原始值)与记录STC 135的频率之间的X偏移。这个操作可以表示为X轴偏移=第一PCR-记录STC。In operation, an encrypted transport stream (TS) 165 is received by decryptor 105 and decryptor 105 outputs a decrypted transport stream 170, which is received by demultiplexer 110 at the rate at which encrypted transport stream 165 is broadcast . PLL circuit 130 generates fixed frequency signal 175 which is sent to recording STC 135 and frequency adjuster 145. The recording clock signal 180 generated by the recording STC 135 is received by the demultiplexer 110 and the write controller 150. The demultiplexer 110 extracts the value of the first PCR field in the first header of the decrypted transport stream and calculates the encoder system time clock frequency (the clock used to establish the original value in the SCR field of the program stream and in the transport stream The X offset between the original value established in the PCR field of ) and the frequency of the recorded STC 135. This operation can be expressed as X-axis offset=first PCR-record STC.

解多路复用110把被解密的传送流170转换成音频基本流(AES)185和视频基本流(VES)190。AES 185和VES 190是PES格式。被解密的传送流170还可以被分解成除了音频与视频之外的其它流,例如图文电视。这些其它流将被同等地视为AES 185和VES 190。解多路复用器110把X偏移添加到一个或多个原始PTS字段值PTS,以在AES 185和VES 190的PTS字段中建立新的值PTS1并写入PTS1。解多路复用器110还把X偏移添加到一个或多个原始DTS字段值DTS,以在AES 185和VES 190的一个或多个DTS字段中建立新的值DTS1并写入DTS1。这两个操作可以表示为PTS1=PTS+X偏移和DTS1=DTS+X偏移。AES 185和VES 190以及记录STC频率信号195被发送给存储子系统150的写入控制器150。当计算X偏移时,记录STC频率信号195携带记录STC 135的频率值。Demultiplexing 110 converts the decrypted transport stream 170 into an audio elementary stream (AES) 185 and a video elementary stream (VES) 190 . AES 185 and VES 190 are PES formats. The decrypted transport stream 170 can also be decomposed into other streams besides audio and video, such as teletext. These other streams will be treated equally as AES 185 and VES 190. Demultiplexer 110 adds an X offset to one or more original PTS field values PTS to create a new value PTS1 in the PTS field of AES 185 and VES 190 and writes PTS1. Demultiplexer 110 also adds an X offset to one or more original DTS field values DTS to create a new value DTS1 in one or more DTS fields of AES 185 and VES 190 and writes DTS1. These two operations can be expressed as PTS1 = PTS + X offset and DTS1 = DTS + X offset. AES 185 and VES 190 and recording STC frequency signal 195 are sent to write controller 150 of storage subsystem 150. Record STC frequency signal 195 carries the frequency value of record STC 135 when calculating the X offset.

写入控制器150交织所有涉及与单一分段相同时间的基本流信息(AES 185、VES 190、频率信号195)并且将该分段存储在存储介质155上。Write controller 150 interleaves all elementary stream information (AES 185, VES 190, frequency signal 195) related to the same time as a single segment and stores the segment on storage medium 155.

接收机100可以用两种模式播放程序,实况播放模式或者延迟播放或时移记录(TSR)模式。在实况播放模式中不存储程序。在实况播放模式中,如虚线部分所示,接收机100将AES 185“热线连接(hotwire)”到音频解码器与表示器120,并且将VES 190“热线连接”到视频解码器与表示器125。视频解码器与表示器125充当“主机”,并且基于记录STC 135的时间以及AES 185和VES 190的PTS字段(包括值PST1)和DTS字段(包括值DTS1),从解多路复用器110拉取分段。The receiver 100 can play programs in two modes, a live playback mode or a delayed playback or time-shifted recording (TSR) mode. Programs are not stored in live playback mode. In live playback mode, the receiver 100 "hotwires" the AES 185 to the audio decoder and presenter 120, and the VES 190 to the video decoder and presenter 125, as indicated by the dotted lines . The Video Decoder and Presenter 125 acts as a "host" and, based on the time of recording the STC 135 and the PTS field (including the value PST1 ) and DTS field (including the value DTS1 ) of the AES 185 and VES 190, receives data from the demultiplexer 110 Pull segments.

在延迟播放模式中存储程序,并且在存储子系统115的控制之下回放该程序。对于延迟回放模式而言,存储于系统115的读取控制器160将所存储的频率信号195读取并发送到频率调整器145,频率调整器145调整固定频率信号175来匹配所存储的频率信号195并且输出被调整的固定频率信号196。经过调整的固定频率信号196由播放STC 140接收,播放STC 140将播放时钟信号197发送到音频解码器与表示器120、视频解码器与表示器125以及读取控制器160。从而,当解多路复用该程序时,播放STC 140的运行频率与记录STC 135的运行频率相同。The program is stored in delayed play mode and played back under the control of the storage subsystem 115 . For the delayed playback mode, the read controller 160 stored in the system 115 reads and sends the stored frequency signal 195 to the frequency adjuster 145, which adjusts the fixed frequency signal 175 to match the stored frequency signal 195 and output the adjusted fixed frequency signal 196. Adjusted fixed frequency signal 196 is received by playback STC 140 which sends playback clock signal 197 to audio decoder and display 120, video decoder and display 125, and readout controller 160. Thus, when the program is demultiplexed, the playback STC 140 operates at the same frequency as the recording STC 135.

对于延迟回放模式而言,读取控制器160计算存储偏移(S偏移),即根据播放STC 140的暂停时间(TP)和根据播放STC的继续时间(TR)的差值。这些操作可以表示为S偏移=TR-TP。读取控制器160把S偏移添加到一个或多个当前PTS字段值PTS1,以在AES 185和VES 190的该PTS字段中建立新的值PTS2并写入PTS2。读取控制器160还把S偏移添加到一个或多个当前DTS字段值DTS1,以在AES 185和VES 190的该DTS字段中建立新的值DTS2并写入DTS2。这两个操作可以表示为PTS2=PTS1+S偏移和DTS2=DTS1+S偏移。视频解码器与表示器125充当“主机”并且从存储子系统115中以存储子系统表示的速率来拉取分段。For the delayed playback mode, the read controller 160 calculates the storage offset (S offset), which is the difference between the pause time (TP) according to the play STC 140 and the resume time (TR) according to the play STC. These operations can be expressed as S offset = TR - TP. Read controller 160 adds the S offset to one or more current PTS field values PTS1 to create a new value PTS2 in that PTS field for AES 185 and VES 190 and writes PTS2. Read controller 160 also adds an S offset to one or more current DTS field values DTS1 to create a new value DTS2 in that DTS field for AES 185 and VES 190 and writes DTS2. These two operations can be expressed as PTS2 = PTS1 + S offset and DTS2 = DTS1 + S offset. Video decoder and presenter 125 acts as a "host" and pulls segments from storage subsystem 115 at the rate represented by the storage subsystem.

图2是根据本发明第二实施例的接收机的示意图;在图2中,接收机200包括解密器205、基于分组标识符(PID)的传送分组选择器210(此后称为选择器210)、存储子系统215、解多路复用器217、音频解码器与表示器220、视频解码器与表示器225、时钟振荡器电路230、自激时钟235、播放STC 240和频率调整电路245。存储子系统215包括写入控制器250、存储介质255和读取控制器260。读取控制器260包括可选注入器(injector)262。注入器262可以是硬件或软件的注入器。FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of a receiver according to a second embodiment of the present invention; in FIG. 2, the receiver 200 includes a decryptor 205, a transmit packet selector 210 based on a packet identifier (PID) (hereinafter referred to as selector 210) , storage subsystem 215, demultiplexer 217, audio decoder and display 220, video decoder and display 225, clock oscillator circuit 230, free running clock 235, playback STC 240 and frequency adjustment circuit 245. Storage subsystem 215 includes write controller 250 , storage medium 255 and read controller 260 . Read controller 260 includes optional injector 262 . Injector 262 may be a hardware or software injector.

在操作中,加密的传送流265被解密器205接收,并且解密器205输出被解密的传送流270,被解密的传送流270被选择器210以广播被加密的传送流265的速率接收。PLL电路230产生固定频率信号275,其被发送给时钟235以及频率调整器245。由时钟235产生的时钟信号280被选择器210和写入控制器250接收。选择器210基于所选择的一个或多个程序从被解密的传送流270中提取分组。基于被解密的传送流中每个分组报头的PID字段中对应于所选程序的值进行选择。选择器210在每个所选分组的开头添加四个字节的时间标记以产生部分传送流282,部分传送流282被存储器子系统215的写入控制器250接收。写入控制器250把部分传送流放置到存储介质255中。In operation, encrypted transport stream 265 is received by decryptor 205 , and decryptor 205 outputs decrypted transport stream 270 , which is received by selector 210 at the rate at which encrypted transport stream 265 is broadcast. PLL circuit 230 generates fixed frequency signal 275 which is sent to clock 235 and frequency adjuster 245 . Clock signal 280 generated by clock 235 is received by selector 210 and write controller 250 . Selector 210 extracts packets from decrypted transport stream 270 based on the selected program or programs. The selection is based on the value corresponding to the selected program in the PID field of each packet header in the decrypted transport stream. Selector 210 adds a four byte time stamp at the beginning of each selected packet to generate partial transport stream 282 which is received by write controller 250 of memory subsystem 215 . Write controller 250 places the partial transport stream into storage medium 255 .

接收机200可以用两种模式播放程序,实况播放模式或者延迟播放或TSR模式。在实况播放状态中,如虚线所示,不存储程序并且接收机200将选择器210 “热线连接”到解多路复用器217并且把S偏移(在下描述)设置到零。The receiver 200 can play programs in two modes, live playback mode or delayed playback or TSR mode. In the live play state, as indicated by the dashed line, no program is stored and the receiver 200 "hotwires" the selector 210 to the demultiplexer 217 and sets the S offset (described below) to zero.

在延迟播放模式中,将程序存储在存储器子系统215中。对于延迟播放模式而言,解多路复用器217执行现在描述的几个操作。所述操作的次序不一定是执行这些操作时的次序。In delayed play mode, the program is stored in memory subsystem 215 . For delayed play mode, the demultiplexer 217 performs several operations now described. The order in which the operations are described is not necessarily the order in which the operations are performed.

从存储器子系统215向解多路复用器217发送部分传送流282有两种选项。在第一种或”推入”选项中,注入器262读取四个字节的时间标记并且在恰当的时间将每个分组“注入”到解多路复用器217中。在推入选项中,当接收到分组时,解多路复用器217从每个分组中除去四个字节的时间标记。在第二种或”拉取”选项中,不使用注入器262(或不存在),并且当解多路复用器217接收时,其读取并从每个分组中除去四个字节的时间标记。视频解码器与表示器225基于VES的消耗来”拉取”视频。当视频解码器与表示器225的缓冲区(未示出)中的VES数据量低于阈值时,视频解码器与表示器从解多路复用器217”拉取”更多的数据。There are two options for sending the partial transport stream 282 from the memory subsystem 215 to the demultiplexer 217 . In the first or "push" option, the injector 262 reads the four byte timestamp and "injects" each packet into the demultiplexer 217 at the appropriate time. In the push option, the demultiplexer 217 removes the four byte time stamp from each packet as it is received. In the second or "pull" option, the injector 262 is not used (or not present), and when the demultiplexer 217 receives it, it reads and removes four bytes of time stamp. The Video Decoder and Presenter 225 "pulls" video based on VES consumption. When the amount of VES data in the buffer (not shown) of the video decoder and presenter 225 is below a threshold, the video decoder and presenter "pulls" more data from the demux 217 .

解多路复用器217计算存储偏移(S偏移),即部分传送流282的第一报头中第一PCR字段的值与当前播放STC 240时间之间的差。这个操作可以表示为S偏移=第一PCR-播放STC。The demultiplexer 217 calculates the storage offset (S offset), ie the difference between the value of the first PCR field in the first header of the partial transport stream 282 and the current playing STC 240 time. This operation can be expressed as S offset=first PCR-play STC.

解多路复用器217把被解密的部分传送流282转换成AES流和VES流。AES和VES流是PES格式。被解密的部分传送流282还可以被分解成除了音频与视频之外的其它流,例如图文电视。The demultiplexer 217 converts the decrypted partial transport stream 282 into an AES stream and a VES stream. AES and VES streams are in PES format. The decrypted partial transport stream 282 may also be decomposed into streams other than audio and video, such as teletext.

对于AES和VES中的每个PES而言,解多路复用器217将S偏移添加到当前的一个或多个PTS字段值PTS,以建立新数值PTS3并且把PTS3写入AES和VES的一个或多个PTS字段。对于AES和VES中的每个PES而言,解多路复用器217将S偏移添加到当前的一个或多个DTS字段值DTS,以建立新的DTS值DTS3并且把DTS3写入AES和VES的一个或多个PTS字段。这两个操作可以表示为PTS3=PTS+S偏移和DTS3=DTS+S偏移。For each PES in AES and VES, the demultiplexer 217 adds the S offset to the current one or more PTS field values PTS to create a new value PTS3 and writes PTS3 to the PTS of AES and VES. One or more PTS fields. For each PES in AES and VES, the demultiplexer 217 adds the S offset to the current one or more DTS field values DTS to create a new DTS value DTS3 and writes DTS3 into the AES and VES One or more PTS fields of the VES. These two operations can be expressed as PTS3 = PTS + S offset and DTS3 = DTS + S offset.

解多路复用器217使用具有部分传送流282的PCR和到达传送分组的四个字节时间标记来计算并经由频率调整器245设置播放STC 240的频率,该频率调整器245将固定频率信号275调整到调整后的固定频率信号296。调整后的固定频率信号296被播放STC 240接收,播放STC 240将播放时钟信号297发送到解多路复用器217、音频解码器与表示器220、视频解码器与表示器225。这些操作在上述相关申请”RobustMethod For Recovering A Program Time Base In MPEG-2 TransportStreams And Achieving Audio/Video Synchronization”S/N09/967,877中被完全公开。从而,播放STC 240的运行频率与建立程序流时的程序时钟相同。The demultiplexer 217 uses the PCRs with the partial transport stream 282 and the four byte time stamps of the arriving transport packets to calculate and set the frequency at which the STC 240 is played via the frequency adjuster 245, which divides the fixed frequency signal 275 to adjusted fixed frequency signal 296 . The adjusted fixed frequency signal 296 is received by the playback STC 240, which sends the playback clock signal 297 to the demultiplexer 217, the audio decoder and displayer 220, and the video decoder and displayer 225. These operations are fully disclosed in the aforementioned related application "RobustMethod For Recovering A Program Time Base In MPEG-2 TransportStreams And Achieving Audio/Video Synchronization" S/N09/967,877. Thus, the operating frequency of the playback STC 240 is the same as the program clock when the program stream was established.

视频解码器与表示器225充当“主机”并且从存储解多路复用器217中以解多路复用器表示的速率拉取分段。The video decoder and presenter 225 acts as a "host" and pulls segments from the storage demux 217 at the rate indicated by the demux.

当本发明的用户使接收机100或接收机200进入特技播放模式(即快进、快退、慢进、慢退或暂停)时,存储在存储介质155或存储介质255上的视频以用户选择的速率表示,并且不存在音频或者音频不需要与视频同步。在这种情况下,对于本发明的两个实施例而言,存储偏移被设置为零并且STC 140或播放STC 240可以以最后设置的频率运行。When the user of the present invention puts receiver 100 or receiver 200 into trick-play mode (i.e., fast forward, fast reverse, slow forward, slow reverse, or pause), the video stored on storage medium 155 or storage medium 255 is The rate representation of , and there is no audio or the audio does not need to be synchronized with the video. In this case, for both embodiments of the invention, the storage offset is set to zero and either the STC 140 or the playback STC 240 can run at the last set frequency.

在特技播放模式之后,当本发明的用户把接收机100或者接收机200恢复到普通播放模式(实时播放和延时播放是普通模式)时,结果的情况可以被认为是时基中的间断性。在这种情况下,对于两个实施例而言,基于新的偏移调整每个PES分组的PTS字段中当前的PTS值。新的偏移是PTS字段值和播放STC 140或播放STC 240当前值的函数。对于本发明的第一实施例可以表示为PTS4=PTS1+新偏移,对于本发明的第二实施例可以表示为PTS5=PTS+新偏移。新偏移的确定在上述相关申请”Robust Method For Recovering A Program Time Base InMPEG-2 Transport Streams And Achieving Audio/VideoSynchronization”S/N 09/967,877中被完全公开。After trick play mode, when the user of the present invention restores receiver 100 or receiver 200 to normal play mode (real-time play and delayed play are normal modes), the resulting situation can be considered as a discontinuity in the time base . In this case, for both embodiments, the current PTS value in the PTS field of each PES packet is adjusted based on the new offset. The new offset is a function of the PTS field value and the current value of the Play STC 140 or Play STC 240. For the first embodiment of the present invention, it can be expressed as PTS4=PTS1+new offset, and for the second embodiment of the present invention, it can be expressed as PTS5=PTS+new offset. The determination of the new offset is fully disclosed in the aforementioned related application "Robust Method For Recovering A Program Time Base InMPEG-2 Transport Streams And Achieving Audio/Video Synchronization" S/N 09/967,877.

图3是说明记录期间根据本发明修改的接收机回放和记录STC和PTS的关系的曲线;在图3中,垂直轴是音频解码器与表示器120和视频解码器与表示器125(参见图1),或音频解码器与表示器220和视频解码器与表示器225(参见图2)看到的时间,水平轴是实际时间。如图3中所示,播放STC和记录STC曲线300的值以固定速率线性增加。PTS曲线305表示在AES和VES内为了避免所表示的程序中视频或音频的间断性所需的PTS值增量。PTS曲线305的斜率必须在斜率方面是相同的,尽管它可能在解码器时间上从播放STC和记录STC曲线300有一定偏移。PTS曲线310表示所记录的AES和VES的PTS值(或在第二实施例的情况下,从所存储的部分传送流中获得的AES和VES的PTS值)。在PTS曲线310的第一部分315中,PTS曲线310与PTS曲线305重叠并且准确地定时所表示的音频和视频。部分315是实况播放。在PTS曲线310的第二部分320中,程序被暂停并且按照好象已经出现间断性来对待。只要程序被暂停,部分320中的PTS值就不增加,当按照PTS曲线310的第三部分325继续播放时,在PTS曲线305和PTS曲线310之间存在偏移330。PTS曲线305和310的斜率是相同的,但是它们在解码器时间上是偏移的。偏移330应归于暂停(存储)过程中占用的时间,并且如上所述本发明通过调整PTS值来补偿存储时间,从而校正偏移330。DTS值的曲线将类似于它们相应的PTS值。Figure 3 is a graph illustrating the relationship between receiver playback and recording STC and PTS modified according to the present invention during recording; 1), or the time as seen by the audio decoder and presenter 220 and the video decoder and presenter 225 (see FIG. 2 ), the horizontal axis is actual time. As shown in FIG. 3, the values of the play STC and record STC curves 300 increase linearly at a fixed rate. The PTS curve 305 represents the PTS value increment required within AES and VES to avoid video or audio discontinuity in the represented program. The slope of the PTS curve 305 must be the same in slope, although it may be offset in decoder time from the play STC and record STC curves 300 . The PTS curve 310 represents the recorded PTS values of AES and VES (or, in the case of the second embodiment, the PTS values of AES and VES obtained from stored partial transport streams). In first portion 315 of PTS curve 310, PTS curve 310 overlaps PTS curve 305 and accurately times the audio and video represented. Section 315 is live playback. In the second portion 320 of the PTS curve 310, the program is paused and treated as if a discontinuity had occurred. As long as the program is paused, the PTS value in section 320 is not incremented, and there is an offset 330 between PTS curve 305 and PTS curve 310 when playback continues according to third section 325 of PTS curve 310 . The slopes of the PTS curves 305 and 310 are the same, but they are offset in decoder time. The offset 330 is due to the time taken in the pause (store) process, and the present invention corrects the offset 330 by adjusting the PTS value to compensate for the store time as described above. The curves for DTS values will be similar to their corresponding PTS values.

图4是说明在特技到普通播放期间接收机回放和记录STC、原始PTS和根据本发明修改的PTS的关系的曲线。在图4中,垂直轴是音频解码器与表示器120和视频解码器与表示器125(参见图1),或音频解码器与表示器220和视频解码器与表示器225(参见图2)看到的时间,水平轴是实际时间。如图4中所示,播放STC和记录STC曲线400的值以固定速率线性增加。PTS曲线405表示在AES和VES内为了避免所表示的程序中视频或音频的间断性所需的PTS值的增量。PTS曲线405的斜率必须在斜率方面是相同的,尽管它可能在解码器时间上从播放STC和记录STC曲线400有一定偏移。PTS曲线410表示所记录的AES和VES的PTS值(或在第二实施例的情况下,从所存储的部分传送流中获得的AES和VES的PTS值)。在PTS曲线410的第一部分415中,PTS曲线410与PTS曲线405重叠并且准确地定时所表示的音频和视频。部分415是实况播放。在PTS曲线410的第二部分420中,程序被暂停并且按照好象已经出现间断性来对待。只要程序被暂停,部分420中的PTS值就不增加。当按照PTS曲线410的第三部分425继续播放时,在PTS曲线405和PTS曲线410之间存在偏移430。PTS曲线405和410的斜率是相同的,但是它们在解码器时间上是偏移的。偏移430应归于暂停(存储)过程中占用的时间,并且如上所述本发明通过调整PTS值来补偿存储时间,从而校正偏移430。在PTS曲线410的第四部分435中,执行特技播放,在本实施例中特技播放为快进,并且被作为间断性来对待。在PTS曲线410的第四部分435中,由于特技播放失真定时的特性不需要保持定时。然而,在如PTS曲线410的第五部分445所示的退出特技播放模式之后,在PTS曲线405和PTS曲线410之间存在偏移440。PTS曲线405和410的斜率是相同的,但是它们在解码器时间上是偏移的。偏移440应归于由特技播放所引起时延失真,并且同样如上所述本发明也通过调整PTS值来补偿存储时间,从而校正偏移440。DTS值的曲线将类似于它们相应的PTS值。Fig. 4 is a graph illustrating the relationship between receiver playback and recording STC, original PTS and PTS modified according to the present invention during trick-to-normal play. In FIG. 4, the vertical axis is audio decoder and presenter 120 and video decoder and presenter 125 (see FIG. 1), or audio decoder and presenter 220 and video decoder and presenter 225 (see FIG. 2). Seeing time, the horizontal axis is actual time. As shown in FIG. 4, the values of the play STC and record STC curves 400 increase linearly at a fixed rate. PTS curve 405 represents the increment of PTS value required within AES and VES to avoid video or audio discontinuity in the represented program. The slope of the PTS curve 405 must be the same in slope, although it may be offset in decoder time from the play STC and record STC curves 400 . The PTS curve 410 represents the recorded PTS values of AES and VES (or, in the case of the second embodiment, the PTS values of AES and VES obtained from stored partial transport streams). In a first portion 415 of the PTS curve 410, the PTS curve 410 overlaps the PTS curve 405 and accurately times the audio and video represented. Section 415 is live playback. In the second portion 420 of the PTS curve 410, the program is paused and treated as if a discontinuity had occurred. The PTS value in section 420 is not incremented as long as the program is suspended. There is an offset 430 between the PTS curve 405 and the PTS curve 410 as playback continues according to the third portion 425 of the PTS curve 410 . The slopes of the PTS curves 405 and 410 are the same, but they are offset in decoder time. The offset 430 is due to the time taken in the pause (store) process, and the present invention corrects the offset 430 by adjusting the PTS value to compensate for the store time as described above. In the fourth portion 435 of the PTS curve 410, a trick play is performed, which in this embodiment is fast forward and is treated as a discontinuity. In the fourth portion 435 of the PTS curve 410, the timing does not need to be maintained due to the nature of the trick-play distortion timing. However, there is an offset 440 between the PTS curve 405 and the PTS curve 410 after exiting the trick play mode as indicated by the fifth portion 445 of the PTS curve 410 . The slopes of the PTS curves 405 and 410 are the same, but they are offset in decoder time. Offset 440 is due to delay distortion caused by trick play, and the present invention also corrects offset 440 by adjusting the PTS value to compensate for storage time as described above. The curves for DTS values will be similar to their corresponding PTS values.
